ABSTRACT:
A multi-link type suspension for a steerable driving wheel includes a wheel carrier having a tie rod for a steering wheel, a pair of upper arms each having one end connected to a vehicle body and the other end connected to said wheel carrier, and a connector for connecting the upper arms to the vehicle body and the wheel carrier. A strut arm is connected to the connector wherein a lower section of the strut arm forks to form two separate ends, and a pair of lower arms are provided each having one end connected to one of the strut arm and the other end connected to the wheel carrier. The suspension is such that an intersecting point of an imaginary line parallel to a line that connects a hinge point where one of the upper arms is mounted on the vehicle body and a connection point of the connector, and an imaginary line orthogonal to a center line of the strut arm becomes an imaginary instantaneous center of the upper arms with respect to the vehicle body.
